Abstract

In at least one embodiment of the present invention, a sensor assembly for measuring tension loads by a seat belt for a vehicle is provided. The assembly comprises an anchor plate forming a first aperture for mounting. The anchor plate has a central space. A housing is positioned to envelope the anchor plate and forms a seat belt aperture. The housing has a first sensor element. Engaging the seat belt aperture is the seat belt. A compliant element causes the housing to move relative to the anchor plate in response to tension by the seat belt. Within the central space is a strain relief element having positioning features to locate the strain relief element relative to the anchor plate. The strain relief element has a second sensor element interacting with the first sensor element to produce a signal responsive to the relative position between the housing and the anchor plate.
